UCharacterMovementComponent::ShouldPerformAirControlForPathFollowing

function Engine Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Determines whether PerformAirControlForPathFollowing() should run this tick. The default implementation returns true whenever the character is in the Falling movement mode.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Not an override of a base-class interface function — it exists purely as an extension point for this class's own PerformAirControlForPathFollowing() logic.
• Called every tick while a path-following move is in progress, so keep any override cheap.
• Returning false does not stop the character from falling — it only disables the extra steering PerformAirControlForPathFollowing() would otherwise apply.

Signature

Example

Disabling air control while a special ability is active C++

bool UMyCharacterMovementComponent::ShouldPerformAirControlForPathFollowing() const

	{

	}
	return Super::ShouldPerformAirControlForPathFollowing();
}
